Storm 2 Ultra is an evolution of Avon’s award winning Storm-ST range giving you more mileage and more grip.
The Storm 2 Ultra replaces Avon’s Storm-ST and builds on
it’s predeccor’s talents. Employing what’s called ‘Reactive Footprint’ (RF) technology, the Storm 2 Ultra produces a footprint that changes size and shape depending on the bike’s lean angle, growing in size the further over the bike goes. It means you get high grip through the corners yet in a straight line have a footprint which increases the Storm 2 Ultra’s lifespan. Avon’s RF Technology questions the need for dual compound tread, which has uneven wear patterns associated with it.
The wet weather performance of the Storm 2 Ultra is outstanding, thanks in part to the tyre’s multi-compound Super-Rich Silica (SRS) tread. The extremely high silica content delivers optimum grip in the wet and dry. It also has the added benefit of warming up quickly which also gives an extra 12% mileage.
On the front tyres, the Storm 2 Ultra benefits from Inverted
Front Groove (IFG) that resist stepped-wear and cupping, ensuring smooth handling for the life of the tyre and improving wet weather breaking. The Enhanced Aqua Flow (EAF) pattern of the rear tyre also increases your safety and confidence in wet conditions.
New technology is incorporated in the 0 degree belting
system and dynamic stresses within the carcass have
been tuned.
This new technology not only increases mechanical grip, giving improved traction in both wet and dry, but it also enhances handling and ride comfort.
